La vestale
''La vestale'' (''The Vestal Virgin'') is an opera composed by Gaspare Spontini to a French libretto by Étienne de Jouy. It takes the form of a ''tragédie lyrique'' in three acts. It was first performed on 15 December 1807 by the Académie Impériale de Musique (Paris Opera) at the Salle Montansier, and is regarded as Spontini's masterpiece.〔Holden, p. 1002〕 The musical style shows the influence of Gluck and looks forwards to the works of Berlioz, Wagner and French Grand Opera.〔Holden, pp. 1003–4; Wagner conducted ''La vestale'' in Dresden in 1844 (source:Del Teatro).〕
==Composition history==
Spontini had finished ''La vestale'' by the summer of 1805 but had faced opposition from leading members of the Opéra and rivalry from fellow composers.〔Del Teatro〕 The premiere was made possible with the help of Spontini's patron, the Empress Josephine, but only after being rearranged by Jean-Baptiste Rey and Louis-Luc Loiseau de Persuis.〔Castil-Blaze 1855, p. 115〕
''La vestale'' was an enormous success, enjoying over two hundred performances by 1830.〔Barbier p.72〕
